The Optimum Bed Density (OBD™) design preparative columns are the culmination of a two year research and development project aimed at delivering the most reliable and consistent preparative column performance. This innovative manufacturing procedure combines the influences of hardware, particle characteristics and packed bed densities, resulting in columns with excellent stability, superior reproducibility and extremely high efficiencies.
Loadability by Design
Successful scale-up of an isolation and purification process is not only a function of column efficiency, but is also related to the loadability of the chromatographic material. The physical characteristics of preparative phases, such as surface area and ligand density, do not always correlate well with the mass loadability of ionizable compounds. SunFire™ Prep silica particles have been synthetically designed under cGMP protocols to deliver maximum loadability in acidic to moderate pH mobile phase conditions.
Efficiency and Scalability
The isolation and purification of critical compound pairs is a major challenge to purification scientists. Often a successful analytical separation will not scale up directly due to the reduced performance of the preparative column. The OBD™ design in combination with the efficient SunFire™ particles ensures equivalent chromatographic performance from analytical to preparative dimensions, eliminating the need for any subsequent time consuming method redevelopment.

An Introduction to Parish Life
What's a Parish?
A lot happens in the life of a Church of England parish. People are often confused by the distinction between a civil 'Parish' and a church one. This confusion (compounded by the 'Vicar of Dibley'!) needs to be clarified! An ecclesiastical 'parish' may have a similar set of geographical boundaries to a civil one, and the Church will have a Parochial Church Council (PCC), but it is not the same as a 'Parish Council', which is a secular elected body handling local planning and amenity issues and operating at the political level.
In our diocese, parishes (often grouped into multi-parish 'benefices') are brought together into 13 mainland 'deaneries' and a further two covering the Channel Islands.
Parish life can vary enormously. The style of worship on offer in different parishes may vary significantly as will provision for different age groups. Parish life has a primary focus on the care of people, but there will be many aspects to that alongside the need to maintain premises – very often heritage properties. Finance and aspects of Anglican polity must be handled with great care, for churches are charitable institutions and their officers are mostly volunteers. Over the years there has grown up an enormous range of legal requirements to service, deadlines to follow and regulations and guidelines to be aware of. One of those areas concerns 'Safeguarding' for children and vulnerable adults.
The brief of the Church of England has always been to provide Christian ministry to wherever there are people. The national Church is enabled to do that more effectively than any other Christian denomination in the UK because it is sustained by 'Parish Share'. Always calculated on an individual church basis, the 'Share' pays for local clergy and a range of services to facilitate ministry, as well as supporting the Church nationally. Larger parishes effectively subsidise those less able to pay their way.
There are other resources funding Anglican mission, notably contributions by the Church Commissioners whose income from investments provides for Bishops and the upkeep of Cathedrals. No monies come from central government.

Many people want to help bluebirds find nesting places and successfully raise their young, so they put up nest boxes and make bluebird "trails" in parks, cemeteries, golf courses or fields (with permission, of course). Then a volunteer trail monitor checks the boxes at least once a week during the nesting season to make sure no problems have cropped up.
When bluebirds find an acceptable nest box, they make their nests from brown grass or long pine needles and weave the materials skillfully into a cup inside the box. They lay up to five pale blue eggs twice a year, beginning in late April and continuing through August. The eggs hatch after about two weeks and the young birds are ready to fledge about 16-21 days after hatching.
The Como Park Bluebird Trail began in 2008 with nine nest boxes mounted on telephone poles around the park. From these boxes, 12 young bluebirds were fledged.
In 2009, a new trail was developed with boxes placed in more suitable locations. Six post-mounted boxes were made by students in a stewardship class at Great River School, in partnership with Eco Education, and donated to the park. Six experimental hanging nest boxes were tested in 2009, too.
The Como Golf Course has had a its own bluebird trail since 2005. The trail now has 14 boxes. From 2005-2008, a total of 125 young bluebirds have been successfully raised on the golf course!
Look for these beautiful birds when you're at the park. Listen for their soft, lovely song.
June 30, 2009: Another new bluebird nest was built in the past week.
There are already three eggs in it! Fast work. Five young bluebirds
hatched in one nest; five eggs are incubating in another; and a female
bluebird sat on yet another nest. Two batches of tree swallows fledged;
two more will do so in the next week. Four boxes are empty.
June 23, 2009: A total of 12 bluebirds fledged in the first round of
nesting. Round two is underway with two nests with 5 eggs each, and one
more nest under construction. The tree swallow nestlings are growing
bigger and peeking out their entrance holes. The tree swallow parents
will swoop at the heads of anyone who gets too near their box.
June 16, 2009: Four more bluebirds have fledged and another new
bluebird nest has been made. All the tree swallows have hatched and the
parent birds are busy bringing insects to them.
June 9, 2009: The first brood of four bluebirds fledged! When young
bluebirds fledge they are speckled and not as blue as adult birds.
Another brood of five will fledge sometime in the next week or so. Five
more bluebirds are growing rapidly in the box by the Lexington Parkway
bridge and a new pair has laid four blue eggs in the box in the Como
Woodland. Five chickadees fledged. Twelve tree swallow nestlings
hatched; swallows are incubating at least eleven more eggs.
May 18, 2009: The first four bluebirds hatched! Two more nests have a total of ten eggs. Five chickadees also hatched and are about a week old. At least eight tree swallow eggs have been laid in two nest boxes.
May 13, 2009: Bluebirds are occupying three nest boxes on the Como Park Bluebird Trail; chickadees are in two; and tree swallows are in three.
For more information on bluebirds, check out the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's "All About Birds". For more information on bluebird trails, visit the Bluebird Recovery Program of Minnesota. Thanks to the volunteers with Saint Paul Parks and Recreation and Como Golf Course for their hard work and dedication in monitoring and maintaining these Bluebird Trails!

Once again the "supreme court" got it wrong!! Whether we like it or not, The Second Amendment doesn't allow for any infringement including criminal restrictions!! No government entity can make laws or regulations concerning any weapon, Constitutionally!! It would have to be a ballot issue and would probably fall under States Rights for that purpose just as obamacare should have!! The "supreme court" is part of the problem by not following it's defined duties and instead have become political pawns!!
At the meeting on the 22nd….

Jefferson's vews on religion are well documented and irrefutable. As the author of the "Jefferson Bible" (or, more accurately, editor), he was not formally affiliated with any denomination and considered most of the bible, especially the writings of Paul, as nonsense. His version of the bible basically separated the words of Jesus from the rest, which, as he put it, were like picking "diamonds out of dung." So irreligious was he that, at one time when Benjamin Franklin had just emerged from a church service and saw Jefferson walking by, asked him, "Why don't you just admit that you're an atheist?" Jeffeson smiled and said, "Atheists don't win elections." (I'm sure I'm paraphrasing.)
Note that both Jefferson AND Madison used the term. Madison wrote: "The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the endless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe in blood for centuries." Even though they were religious themselves, they were products of the Enlightenment and knew that it was possible that their beliefs were wrong and that those of others might be correct. Government serves all, and therefore should be neutral as to religion.
One hundred elephants are murdered everyday for their tusks. And, yes, this does matter for "antique" ivory because allowing selling of any ivory opens the door to illegal ivory. As we know, there is no good way to tell what is new and what is antique. That's how the poachers get away with it. And that's what is going to kill all the elephants. We must end all ivory trade.

With its low price, air-cooled, four-stroke motor and simple steel chassis the Yamaha TT600R represents the utilitarian side of modern biking. It does have some off-road pretensions, but it's most at home pressed into the role of tough urban commuter. On the flip side, the Yamaha TT600R turns motorways into instruments of torture.

Toxins get into our bodies through more than just food. We are exposed to them through our carpets, lawn chemicals—even our clothing. Each day this week, we will post a new, easy tip to help you detox your kitchen and your diet.
Here's today's tip:
Tip 4: Tackle Your Plastic Container Collection
Many plastic containers contain BPA (bisphenol A), a chemical that's a known endocrine disruptor, which could be linked to prostate and breast cancer, infertility, heart disease and diabetes. Set aside containers marked with recycling code "7" and not labeled BPA-free and retire them from food-storage duty. And when it's time to clean them, take the time to hand-wash any plastic food-storage containers. A 2003 study found that plastic bottles released more BPA after they were cleaned in the dishwasher. (Find out 9 green must-have items for your kitchen.)
More tips to say bye-bye to BPA:

The Top 2 Man Repellents
Bob Grant, L.P.C.
You Don't Have To Try So Hard
You Don't Have To Try So Hard
In the 16 years that I've been doing relationship counseling, I've rarely come across a female client to whom I've had to say, "Try harder" when it comes to relationship building. In fact, most of my female clients try so hard that they find themselves exhausted.
Legendary coach, Vince Lombardi, once said: "Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect."
The problem women have is NOT the lack of effort. It's that they're only trying what they KNOW – and what they know usually consists of ineffective methods.
It doesn't take a genius to know that no matter how hard you try at practicing ineffective methods of getting through to your partner or repairing your relationship, it won't work. The harder you try, the more you end up hurting yourself and your relationship.
What you need are EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES that have been PROVEN to work so that you can go about building and strengthening your relationship effortlessly.
I say this because often women (my clients) are surprised
So you see, you don't have to "try hard" to keep your man interested or keep the fire burning in your relationship.
All you need are a few proven strategies that are so effective at melting a man's heart, you'll regret not having found out about them sooner.
Bob Grant, L.P.C.
The Secret To Understanding Men
The Secret To Understanding Men
Do you know the most common concern I hear from women who come to me for relationship counseling?
It can be summed up in 6 words: "If only I could understand men."
It always baffles me that women think men are such a mystery because I believe men are simple creatures with simple wants and needs.
In comparison, women are significantly more complex and difficult to comprehend.
I say this not just because I happen to be a man, but because I've done relationship counseling with both women and men – and I can tell you, the men have a more daunting challenge trying to figure out women!
Nonetheless, women the world over constantly struggle to understand men.
They find it frustrating that they can't delve inside a man's head to find out what he's really thinking when he behaves the way he does. "That would make life so much easier," they sigh.
Isn't it amazing that many of the bestselling books about how to attract and seduce a man are written by women? And yet MORE WOMEN THAN EVER are having relationship troubles! Go figure.
The Worst Advice Comes From….
This brings me to the subject of women seeking each other's opinions about how to fix their relationships with men – or seeking relationship advice from women's magazines.
I've seen far too many women who spend an inordinate amount of time with their girlfriends psychoanalyzing men to death, trying to figure them out, and often missing the mark.
Or they read women's magazines for advice as though those publications were the be-all and end-all of relationship authorities.
I don't wish to discredit women's magazines in general, but the truth remains that when women give other women advice, they do so in a way that women can consume. In other words, they sugarcoat the pill into something palatable enough for women to swallow.
By their very nature, women always try to comfort and cuddle each other by regurgitating half-truths and fallacies they've read in women's magazines just to make them feel good.
When they're dumped, cheated on, or emotionally hurt by men, they comfort each other with words like
"It's his loss"
"He doesn't know what he's missing out on"
"The right man will come along. It will happen when it's supposed to happen."
While those might be comforting words, they give nothing by way of actionable recommendations to avoid being treated by men in that manner in the future – or better still, how to make a man cherish, love and be devoted to them.
I can't really blame women, though. Most don't know the truth about men, and those that do usually find it hard to swallow or accept.
Use A Man's Tendencies For Your Benefit
The secret is to accept men as they are, celebrate them, and like them in spite of how different they are from you. Once you ACCEPT men instead of resisting them (e.g., calling them heartless jerks or pigs), you can use their natural tendencies in your favor.
Men are physically bigger and stronger than women, so you can't fight them with force, and expect to win. But with feminine softness, you can harness a man's strength, and use it to your benefit. Then, you'll have the upper hand in the relationship.
Bob Grant, L.P.C.
"The Relationship Doctor"
What Men Need To Live A Happy Life
I found this article that was fascinating. It's a study conducted over several decades regarding what makes men happy and fulfilled. I offer this to you so that you'll have a better understanding of the man you love…or will love.
Suffice it to say, that men crave the close connection of a relationship just as much as do women.
They don't show it…and sometimes act as if it isn't that important, but read for yourself and see what the researches discovered.
What If You Never Found Love?
I know the title is kind of cryptic, but hear me out please. I'm asking because deep down in the heart of most every man and woman they've asked that question…privately.
Then as soon as the question entered their mind, the shoved it down as though thinking about it might make it come true. Then they go about their business and just hope that someday they'll get lucky enough to find that one special person who completes them.
For some, they do get lucky, but as a therapist I'm afraid to rely on simple random chance. In fact, what I've seen over the years is that a person's circumstances are the direct result of what they believe about themselves.
Do You Want Him To Listen…or Remember?
So you're pouring your heart out to the man you love or maybe just a guy you're interested in. He's listening to you intently as you share more and more and more. Everything you mention has significance to you because you've live it.
Your boss who is always making impossible demands.
Your mother who for some reason wants to treat you like a child and remind you what to do.
Something you saw on TV that you thought was funny.
Hey Guys – Here's A Tip About Women You'll Thank Me For
Most of the time I talk with women. Not because that was my goal when I started out, but because women seem to be more interested in understanding their relationships, self improvement, etc.
Yet, every so often a man would walk into my office…and actually want to come back. What I found with most guys is they aren't as interested in the process of therapy per say, what they really want is a tool that they can use.
It has to be practical, and something that they can being using instantly without having to learn a complex theory.
How Do I Know If He's Interested?
Hey Bob….How Do I Know If He's Interested?
Forget trying to read his mind or look for whether he turns a certain way.
To be honest, being a real master at reading body language takes years to perfect.
Surely you don't want to spend all your time learning that do you?
Just try my suggestion and you'll have a pretty good idea of whether he's interested or no.
Sorry, He Doesn't Like Drama
I know what you feel when you think he isn't listening. It's like you just want to shake him and unscrew the top of his head so you can look inside to figure out exactly what he's thinking. Even when you tell him that he's not listening, that's not what bothers you so much, it's that you don't think he feels it.
Secret Ingredient To Save Relationship
Secret Ingredient To Save Relationship
Are you in a spot where you feel like your relationship is failing and you need an ingredient that you can add that will fix all? Let's look closer at what the missing ingredient could be.
You've probably heard that communication is the golden key that will cement a relationship forever. But is that the only ingredient that will be necessary? In my ebook Couples in Crisis, I make the comment that "…during stressful times, what each person needs more than anything else is relationships and communication, verbal and/or nonverbal. Being connected with others makes almost any situation more bearable."

Comments: Lightweight glove that's pretty much ready to go off the rack. Flexible fingers and very breathable. Good mobility in the wrists and a snug fit in the back of the hands and the fingers. The APX Pro might have a nicer palm but this palm is the same as the old and popular 4 Roll Pros. Holds up well to slashes and general wear and tear.
From: Michael, CT
Comments: Best gloves on the market, very lightweight, still offer tons of protection, great wrist mobility while still offering a slightly tapered fit so the gloves don't feel like your hands are swimming in them. Plus they look great too, save your money and get these over the APX, these have pro palms and are lighter weight, not too mention less money.
From: Travis, VA
Comments: These gloves are absolutely sick. The protection is truly awesome. I play travel and for my school team and they have held up very well. I have not recieved one injury wearing these gloves. Not to mention the performance is amazing. Dangle,Snipe,Celly! The palms as well have not ripped and remain soft. Which gives an awesome feel. They have just the right amount of movement in your wrist. I have had these gloves for at least 3 months not one problem. I recommend these gloves to everyone!
From: Bobby, Malvern, PA
Comments: One outstanding glove. Great break in, smooth feel right off the bat. Has strong protection all around and really nice mobility. I've had them for about 2 months now, no holes or anything. The standard crusty feel after use but no defects what so ever. The look is sick as well, it's a good part of what drew me in. Took about a 70 mph wrist shot off my hand (which ended up deflecting top blocker bar down) and didn't feel a thing and only scuffed a quarter of an inch of white paint off, the shell is like a tender's blocker! That should be the buying factor right there!
From: Jared
Comments: Great glove. Awesome protection and comfortable. I had the gloves for about six months and wore a hole in the palm. Bauer did take care of it for me though (which was A+). Overall I would recommend.
From: Ted
Comments: Good gloves, I like the look and the fit is great if you like tapered fitting gloves. No restrictions in wrist mobility and the gloves are very light weight. After a few months I have almost no wear at all on the palms and they still feel soft and have no smell. Im happy with them and I can tell they are going to be very durable, Id recommend them to everyone, great gloves for the money.
From: Kyle

CARSON CITY (AP) — Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval has signed an emergency regulation to outlaw the sometimes deadly designer drugs known as bath salts.
The regulation approved earlier this month by a panel of state lawmakers and the state Board of Pharmacy makes the drugs and controlled substance and prohibits sale or possession.
Sandoval signed the measure on Wednesday.
Bath salts can cause heart palpitations, disorientation, extreme paranoia and violence. Some deaths have also been reported.
The drugs are found in smoke shops under names such as Vanilla Sky, Purple Wave and White Lightning. Users typically snort or smoke the substance.
The regulation doesn't ban the kinds of bath salts added to tubs for their fragrance and cosmetic benefits.

You will be charmed by Brunei's many beautiful markets, incredible museums and unspoiled nature. Within the capital, Muara, you will find breathtaking landmarks. The Sultan's lavish residence is not to be missed, as it has achieved legendary status as the largest palace in the world and features a unique blend of contemporary and traditional Islamic architecture. But there is nothing traditional — or expected — in this small country in Southeast Asia. Be prepared to be surprised at every turn.
As shore excursions to be offered in this port are not yet confirmed, below is a list of those offered previously. We make every effort to have excursions finalized at least 240 days in advance of sailing, and often sooner, so please check back regularly.
The unique history, culture and traditions of Brunei are yours to discover during this scenic tour of Bandar.
Depart the pier for the drive into Bandar, the capital city of the 600-year-old Sultanate of Brunei. Upon arrival, your orientation tour of the city's cultural and royal heritage will begin with a guided tour of the Brunei Museum. Along the way, you will view galleries highlighting the Brunei Malay people, the royal lineage and rare Islamic art, which includes the personal collection of His Majesty, Sultan Hussanal Bolkiah.
Next, you will rejoin your coach for the drive to the Brunei River jetty. You will then embark a boat for a ride along the vast water village of 20,000 inhabitants, and visit one of the houses for tea and local cakes.
Afterward, you will proceed for a visit to the Jame Mosque, one of the most magnificent mosques in the region, followed by a visit to the nearby Royal Regalia, dedicated to the Silver Jubilee celebration of His Majesty.
Your tour will conclude with a photo stop at the palace before rejoining your coach for the return drive to the pier.
Please note: Conservative dress is required inside the mosque; shoulders and knees must be covered. Scarves are not necessary, but considered a nice gesture if worn. Non-Muslims will need to don a robe before entering the mosque. Shoes must be removed before entering the mosque and Royal Regalia. All mosques are closed to inside visits on Thursdays and Fridays.

For Instructors
IPOD Users! Get it together.
05/29/2011 9:54 am
I have only used an IPOD for 18 months, but I have been watching instructors use them for years and I am rarely impressed. Here's the problem: instructors seem to be lasez faire about actually choosing the songs for class beforehand and making a playlist that they stick to for the ride. I don't think I have yet taken a class where the instructor who was using an IPOD didn't screw it up somehow. The are always fiddling with it. It is distracting at best and can be very annoying when they let one song start, push stop and then scroll through to find the song they want. The other day I was taking a cycling class and the instructor's peddle became wrapped around the IPOD cord snapping the cord into three pieces. The instructor then had to turn on the lights to see if it was fixable. Since it wasn't, the instructor had to exit the room and tell someone of the problem because of back to back classes. When the instructor returned, a CD had to be located and inserted before class continued. While waiting, the students sat up, started talking and basically quit training for several minutes. The momentum of the riders greatly suffered and the last 10 minutes of class were awkward. These problems are easy to fix. A professional instructor, who wants to be prepared for anything sits at the computer and creates a playlist and downloads it to his or her IPOD. A professional instructor then creates a written ride profile to bring to class that includes the class goal ( Strength, Interval etc) and some objectives (peddle stroke drills, visualizations etc) as well as modifications for different levels of riders. Lastly, the professional instructor either burns a CD of the playlist, or brings along several other CD's of cycling music just in case there is a malfuncion of equipment, the IPOD goes dead or a cord is snapped in half. Not fiddling around with the IPOD during class and having a backup CD will increase the trust and respect of your students. It will help maintain the energy in the room because you aren't changing music out constantly and you can solve equipment problems without much fuss if they should occur.Share

I used this kit on my Squire Tele rebuild. I am sure that I could have used the PVC wire and have been fine. For me, it was just kind of cool to work with the vintage wire.
Very nice wiring to detail your build. If nothing else, it looks cool when you open the control cavity for repairs.
Got the vintage kit for my first-ever rewire...it was not a lot of wire for the price but I had enough to redo a beginner mistake and it's good stuff.
Great for backup wiring jobs. good quality product. Recommend!

Roma Inclusion: An Agenda for Action
The Roma make up Europe's largest and poorest ethnic group, with three-quarters of their estimated 10 to 12 million people living in poverty, and fewer than one in three having a job. The Roma are also much younger than the general population, with 30 percent under age 15-which can be a real boon, considering the latest demographic trends. But a Roma child's chance at a good life starts to decrease very early.
A recent regional study that focused on Roma and non-Roma in nearby communities from five Eastern European countries finds between 28 and 45 percent of Roma children attend preschool in four of the five study countries. However, the Roma preschool rate jumps to 76 percent in Hungary, where targeted policies have been in place; and this is about the average for non-Roma preschool rates across the five countries. Hungary's experience offers promise because surveys show that preschool matters greatly to completing secondary school and staying off social assistance.

is there a new method to turn off data for the firmware 3.1.2 or the iPhone 3gs? I used to disable it using the edge toogle in sbsettings or bossprefs. I didn't need to do it for a while now, and when I tried it today it seemed broken. The Edge toogle turns red, the commcenter restarts, but when I refresh, edge is on again.
Can someone help me with this? Thanks a lot!

Product Description
6.75 Torque Rating 22-Inch High Wheel Trimmer Gets The Toughest Jobs Done Fast
Go where no lawnmower or hand trimmer has gone before with the Craftsman 6.75 torque rating 22-inch high wheel trimmer. This high torque trimmer has 12-inch wheels that can roll over hilly and tough-to-reach places to let you trim the most difficult terrain with ease. Impressive four-cycle engine with a 6.75 torque rating gives you superior cutting power, while its wide cut provides the speed you need to get the job done fast.
The 6.75 torque rating 22-inch high wheel trimmer is quick to assemble and easy to adjust. You can change the replacement line in seconds and adjust the cut without using any tools. This trimmer is also designed to protect itself from damage. Because the guide ball is free-floating, it does not turn when it hits the ground to protect the contact surface from wear. Traditional pull-rope starter gives it a quick start, and its dual-exit construction makes sure you get the best results.
- The Craftsman 6.75 torque rating 22-inch high wheel trimmer is a deluxe trimmer that offers impressive cutting power and convenient operation
- 12-inch wheels roll over difficult terrain to go where ordinary lawnmowers and hand trimmers can't
- High 6.75 torque rating provides exceptional cutting power

Wonderful machine, but like most things associated with Sears, product parts replacement cost, means the machine would cost big bucks to fix. Three times what you paid for it. It appears they pick and choose their product reviews.
Only good on flat stone-free ground! -The trimmer head only lasted a month before the line clips broke off. Carb. air filter is so thin that it will not seal the dirt out. - look to cut big grass get a 3pt mower & a 4 stoke weedeater

this cut pretty good but used very little,since i bought it decided to take to our lot and cut weeds about 3 foot high 20x20 size area,the string hit a half inch tree quit running,the shop said it broke the plastic camshaft, 300 plus to fix it,not goint to fik 10-12-2013 it broke
Salem, OR
I've purchased three of these Craftsman trimmers through the past couple decades for our large property lot. Each had done their job as expected and put in many hard hours before being replaced. It does great for trimming along fencelines and walls where regular mowers cannot get close enough, then just mow the remaining part with a regular mower, or finish it all with the trimmer's adjustable height for the cut. It will chop through extra tall field grass easily and does good on patches of thick sticker-vines, but you have to take a bit at a time or it can clog and you have to clean out the wrapped up trimmings from around the shaft on occasion. The trimmer shaft bearings can tend to wear out sooner than I'd expect, but are easy to replace. The later versions are not as easy to push over rough ground as the previous ones due to the smaller diameter wheels....bad idea there over taller wheels on the previous versions. Adjustable handle height makes it easy for anyone to use. Starts easy and runs great, even after sitting all winter. Engine does not want to shut off completely with cable lever, and I have to push lever on engine slightly to fully shut it off. The plastic trimmer line is fairly inexpensive but wears out somewhat sooner than I'd like, yet still lasts through most of the day's work on large property. The center skid-cup on the spinning trimmer tends to break easily. The trimmer can still be used without it but then the shaft bolt will gouge into the dirt as you roll along, if you let it. The wheel axle has just broke on our 3rd trimmer, but the part is not too expensive to consider repairing it for several more years of use. Taller wheels and fewer plastic parts would give this product 5-stars.

Brand new - will not turn off. You must walk around and press on the throttle control. Ball in front digs into the ground making it very difficult to push. Rolls real nice on the showroom floor. Lol. Really needed larger wheels.

Easy set up. Started on first pull of starter cord. Doing the trimming I needed under bushes/trees etc I could not reach with the lawn tractor.
